Easter 2009

The weather started out great for the Easter weekend. The kids just couldn't get enough of being outside on Friday. Even though we aren't taking our spring break yet, I did let them off Friday.We dyed our eggs on Saturday, then went to Jeff's parents' church to hear their Easter program on Saturday night. I love going to church on Saturday night instead of Sunday on Easter because we are able to slow down and enjoy it more. The program was beautiful, and it was nice to re-visit the church where we attended at one time. Afterwards, we went out to eat. The kids woke up before we did on Sunday morning, but they waited for us before getting their baskets. I'm so glad they are old enough to do that now....no more getting up at 5:00 or earlier!! Afterwards, they hunted eggs. For once it didn't rain the night before Easter, so they were able to hunt them outside. Later in the day, we cooked out and had an egg hunt with our neighbors. As soon as it was over, the rain hit!! We spent the rest of the day inside playing board games and making Easter candy. This was the first Easter that I can remember us staying home all day. We like spending Easter with the cousins, but it was also nice to not have to rush so much. It was a good day.
